Persphinctes is an extinct genus of Ammonites and were marine fossils that lived in the seas between 240 - 65 million years ago, when they became extinct along with the dinosaurs. This particular specimen comes from Madagascar, where these marine creatures thrived in the warm, shallow seas. The name 'ammonite' originates from the Greek Ram-horned god called Ammon with the ammonites being so named due to their resemblance in shape to spiraled ram horns. Ammonites belong to a group of predators known as shelled cephalopods, which includes their living relatives the octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus.
